CABINET PREPARATION
1. To ensure professional results, the cabinet and countertop openings should be prepared by a qualified cabinet
worker. We recommend having the cooktop available before cutting the opening for more precise dimension
verification.
2. The clearances shown in Fig. 6 are required for all types of backguard installations.
3. The cooktop must be supported from the bottom. Provide a platform or some other means of support to set the
cooktop on.
NOTE:
Opening is required for gas and electrical.
4. The cooktop can be installed in various positions with the front either flush or projecting, depending on the
countertop depth.
5. Establish the centerline of the desired cooktop location. It should be the same as the center of the overhead
ventilation hood.
